Cannot update site url or website url in admin ???

Hello,

I used the plugin and for the most part worked quite well.

However i noticed that i cannot no longer update the site url or wordpress url. They are greyed out.

I have found that this is due to the wp-config file having the url's hardcoded inside it.

I have attempted to remove the urls inside the wp-config file but when i do the whole site reverts back to the old site that i took a clone from which is a different domain.

WEIRD!!!!

What did i do wrong so this does not happen agian and is there anyway for me to fix this ?

If you plan on editing those url's, make sure you remove them from wp-config.php and also update the wp_options table, you will find there 2 records related to the original url.

Ok, great thanks for letting me know i will try it... 

However can you explain why this happens after a clone ? Is it possible for you to not add this feature in its kinda of confusing and i guess a little bit messy.

Is there a particular reason this was done in the first place im curious to know.

Thanks.
